Query parameter insertion ambiguity

[LWprogramming]

I'd like to insert parameters into my Cypher queries. Is there a way to do this in RedisGraph?

For instance, this query has parameters

MATCH (Foo:Bar)
WHERE Foo.name = $name
RETURN Foo

where name is a parameter, say {'name': 'hello'}.

Does RedisGraph support this? I didn't find any documentation of this, including how to set a parameter.

Using redis-cli to run a command like GRAPH.QUERY animals 'MATCH(n) RETURN $x' gives an error saying "x is not defined."

I'm looking for the equivalent of :params name: 'hello' in the Neo4j browser.

Hi @LWprogramming,
Sorry but currently RedisGraph doesn't supports templated queries,
the plan is to start implementing this right after RedisGraph 2.0 is released (early August)

Hi @swilly22,
Thanks for the info-- does that mean templated queries will be supported in early August, or is that when you expect work to begin on templated queries?

Expecting to start working on this feature.

Got it, thanks!
